Photo 2.4 on gen4 ipad pro shows no lines setting for symmetry with brush tool

[TRB]

Gen 4 iPad pro 12.9 inch  iPadOS 17.4.1.  When symmetry is selected when using the brush tool, there is no lines setting box.  If I switch to the erase tool, the lines setting becomes available and the setting made there is available for the brush, but still no option to change thiw when the brush tool is active.  IMG_3189 shows symmetry on with brush tool and no lines option, 3190 shows the option available when the eraser tool is active.

It looks like your screen is too narrow to show the full Context bar, but the bar is scrollable right/left, so perhaps try that to see the hidden items.

Duh ... that's it, Walt.  I had tried to slide over, but must have missed the mark with my swipe, and when the setting showed up when I went to the eraser I figured it was just missing.  Thanks!

Very easy to miss (or very hard not to!) if you can’t see that there’s something there. On my iPad’s 10.2″ screen in landscape mode the ‘Lines’ label is fully visible, with the left-hand third of the box also fitting into the available space.

That's part of what was confusing me I think ... it had been there on my screen previously with the brush.  I'm usually using Designer, so it's been a while since I've accessed symmetry on Photo and I'm not sure at what point the lines  option hid itself.  Very glad to have found it!
